Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 29, 2026
Who We Are and How to Contact Us
Temel Academy (https://temel.org) is operated by Goksel Temel. This policy explains how personal information is handled when you browse the website, contact us, subscribe to updates or use our resources. For privacy enquiries and requests, email info@temel.org.
Information We Collect
Information you provide may include your name, email address, message and any other details you choose to send through a contact or subscription form or by email. If comments are enabled on a page, the comment form may also collect your name, email address, website address and comment. Please do not submit passwords, payment details or sensitive personal information through these forms.
When you visit, our website and service providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, timestamps, referring pages and security events. Cookies and similar technologies may store preferences or identifiers on your device. The information collected depends on the features you use, your browser settings and applicable consent choices.
How We Use Information
We use information to operate and secure the website, respond to enquiries, provide requested resources and subscriptions, understand how visitors use our content, detect abuse, maintain backups and meet applicable legal obligations. Where consent is required for a particular activity, that activity must be based on your consent; you may withdraw it for future processing. Other processing may be necessary to provide a requested service, comply with law or pursue legitimate interests, subject to applicable law and your rights.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies can support essential functions, remember preferences, measure visits or support advertising and affiliate attribution. Essential functions may include administrator login and security. If you leave a comment and choose to save your details, WordPress may store those details in a cookie for later comments. You can manage cookies in your browser, though blocking them may affect some features.
We use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand website usage, such as pages visited, referral sources and device categories. Google may process identifiers and technical or usage information under its own terms. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner sites. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising and Google AdSense
If Google advertising is enabled on this website, Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Prior visits to this website or other websites may inform personalized advertising. Google and its partners may process browser identifiers, IP addresses and ad interactions; third parties may place or read cookies and use web beacons when serving ads.
You can manage Google ad personalization through My Ad Center and review Google’s advertising technology information. Some participating third-party advertising providers offer choices through YourAdChoices. Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all ads. Where a consent message is provided, use it to review and change your choices. Browser settings are separate from any site consent controls.
Newsletters and Requested Downloads
If you subscribe or request a resource by email, we process the information you submit to deliver that service and manage the subscription. Subscription services may use EmailOctopus or the website’s form and email systems. Email delivery providers process information needed to deliver and manage messages. You can unsubscribe using the link in a marketing email, where provided, or by contacting info@temel.org. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent a necessary reply to an enquiry you send us.
Affiliate Links and External Content
Some links are affiliate links. If you follow them, the destination or affiliate provider may use cookies, referral identifiers or similar technologies to attribute a visit or purchase. Third-party websites have their own privacy practices. Our pages may also embed content such as YouTube videos, TradingView widgets or Google Maps. When loaded or interacted with, embedded services may receive technical information and set cookies as if you visited the provider directly, depending on the integration and your settings.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Information may be processed by providers of hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, spam prevention and backups as needed for their roles. Our website uses WordPress and security tools including Wordfence. Security processing can include IP addresses and suspicious requests. We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or reasonably necessary to protect the website and the rights or safety of others.
Providers may process information in countries other than your own. Applicable safeguards and rights depend on the service and the laws that apply. Please review the privacy information of any third-party service you choose to use.
Retention and Security
We retain information for the purposes described in this policy, taking account of the type of information, the service requested, security needs and applicable obligations. Enquiries are kept as needed to handle the correspondence; subscription details are kept to manage the subscription and related requests. Security logs and backups may remain for their operational retention cycles. If comments are enabled and submitted, comments and their metadata may be retained while the discussion remains available.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No website, email system or transmission method can guarantee absolute security. Deletion requests may be subject to lawful retention needs and the ordinary expiry of protected backups.
Your Choices and Privacy Rights
Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or a copy of your information; object to or restrict certain processing; or withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to the relevant data protection authority. Contact info@temel.org to make a request. We may need proportionate information to verify that a request concerns your own data. Rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions.
Children
This website provides general financial education and is not directed at children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate authorization, contact us so that we can review the information and take appropriate action.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as website features, providers or practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated where required by applicable law.
